The back roads out of Baldwinsville go dark early in winter — Whiskey Hollow drops into its ravine and the plow lights are the only thing moving for a mile in either direction. Jebco Snow Plowing keeps to those roads and the driveways off them, the long ones, the ones that curve out of sight of the house. Plowing, walkway clearing, salting and sanding, storm after storm from the first sticking snow to the last stubborn one in March. Rural Onondaga County asks for a certain patience: the wind reloads what you just cleared, so you come back and clear it again. A driveway open at six in the morning is a small promise kept in the dark.
